Default IP Address
To access the DMP 64 Plus via the LAN port (LAN 1 on V-models), the IP address, subnet
mask, and the gateway address for the devices are needed. If the address have not been
changed, the factory-specified defaults are:
•
DHCP

•
Gateway address
0.0.0.0
•
Subnet address
255.255.255.0
Establishing a Connection
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application (see
TP Cable Termination for Ethernet
•
Crossover cable
— Direct connection between the computer and the device.
•
Patch (straight) cable
— Connection of the device to an Ethernet LAN.
To establish a network connection to the device:
1.
Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the DMP 64 Plus IP address.
NOTE:
If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory
specified default,
192.168.254.254
, is the correct value for this field.
2.
The device responds with a copyright message including the date, the name of the
product, firmware version, part number, and the current date/time.
3.
If the device is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user
password.
a.
If the password is accepted, the device responds with
Login User
or
Login Administrator
.
b.
If the password is not accepted, the
Password
prompt reappears.
NOTE:
The factory configured password for this device has been set to the device serial
number. Passwords are case sensitive.
Connection Timeouts
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time with no communication. By
default, this timeout value is 5 minutes, but the value can be changed (see
on page 44)..
NOTE:
Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically
issuing the
Query
(
Q
) command to keep the connection active. If there are long idle
periods, disconnect the socket and reopen the connection when another command
must be sent.
